EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) plans to walk out of the room if Republicans move forward with Senate leadership elections on Tuesday, calling it “obnoxious” that a vote is being held so quickly after their midterm wipeout.

“If you hold the election, I’ll leave the room,” Johnson told the Washington Examiner in a Monday sit-down interview. “I’m not going to participate in elections for leadership tomorrow.”
